Initial data
Lulu Lübben, who served on the guard of the Apaches, was awakened by the horses in the paddock at 2am. Their snorts and movements made her think there was a coyote in the pen, so she got up, noticed the faint smell of something burning, and looked out.
She saw a ship hovering between her and highway 60, 6 blocks from her home. The light from the UFO was so bright that Lulu could see details of cars on the highway as they passed behind the object.
After about 15 minutes, the object moved to the far side of highway 60, and now trucks were passing in front of it.
The object was in sight for 30 minutes, then went to the southwest. The weather is not described, except for a report that the prevailing winds over the state were North-northwesterly.
[from the author: I searched for the location of the street to estimate the distances and topography between the witness and the object, but I couldn't locate Lou Roy's lane. The description by a witness that it was located East of highway 60 suggests that its General location is East-Southeast of Apache junction. - jw.]
The object was described as consisting of two circular structures, the larger one at the top connected to the lower one by a rod. There were three appendages at the bottom, but they hovered above the ground and did not land. The upper part was a bright glowing blue, and the lower part was a neon glowing yellow.
No sound, physiological, or electromagnetic effects were reported.

Summary: Animal Reaction Feature: Lulu Luebben, on the staff the Apache Sentinel, was awakened at 2 AM by horses in a corral. Their snorting and movements made her think a coyote was in the corral, so she got up, noticing a faint odor of something burning, and looked out. She saw a craft hovering between her and highway 60, located 6 blocks from her house. The light from the UFO was so bright Lulu could see details of vehicles on the highway as they passed behind the object. After about 15 minutes, the object moved to the far side of highway 60, so the trucks were now passing in front of the object.
The sighting: The object was in view for 30 minutes before moving off to the SW. The weather is not described, with the exception of a report that prevalent winds over the state were N-NW. [I have search for the street location in order to estimate distances and topography between the witness and the object, but could not locate Lu-Roy Lane. The witness’s description of being east of Route 60 suggests the general location is east to southeast of Apache Junction.—jw.] The object was described as being composed of two circular structures, a larger one on top connected to a lower one by a rod. Three bar appendages were on the bottom, but the hovered over the ground and did not land. The top structure was an intense glowing blue, and the bottom was a neon glowing yellow.
